The Fourth Kind
There are four kinds of alien encounters. The fourth kind is abduction.
Directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi
Produced by Universal Pictures, Gold Circle Films
A paranoia-soaked pseudo-documentary thriller that uses found footage and hypnosis sessions to suggest a decades-long alien abduction conspiracy in remote Alaska.
Since the 1960s, a disproportionate number of the population in and around Nome, Alaska, have gone missing. Despite FBI investigations, the disappearances remain a mystery. Dr. Abigail Tyler, a psychologist, may be on the verge of blowing the unsolved cases wide open when, during the course of treating her patients, she finds evidence of alien abductions.
